"Hey Jack, each of us brought a sword, why didn't you have one?"

"Yes, if you are like this, if you meet some big guy after you get to land, no one can help you, hahaha!"

"Brian, you're twenty-five years old, you're so strong for nothing, the Garlands never go to sea empty-handed, even if you don't have a sword, you can bring a fishing rod, I think the cod around here is very fat, it's good for you to catch one or two." ”

Ever since the "Hope" was branded, the crew's taunts about Jack have never stopped.

"My name is Jack, not Brian, Brian is my last name!

Jack clenched his fists, and he swore that if anyone teased him again, he would knock him down and throw him overboard.

But every now and then, his best friend, Johnson, would walk up to Jack's side, wave his hand and let the crew who had been adrift at sea for a month and have nothing to do go away, and say, "You guys, if there are any monsters on land, I think you will all run fast!"

The ridicule of the crew will not stop at this time: "Hey, Johnson, is he your brother, you help him like this, and when the time comes, you will help him carry the fish caught from the sea!"

"I'm not here to fish!" roared Jack.

"Misers, if you laugh again, believe it or not, I'll stab you in the ass with a sword and keep you from squatting in the toilet for a month. Johnson responded.

So the middle-aged man standing on the bridge laughed and returned to the cabin, and the pipe in his hand kept spewing smoke rings.

"Jack, you ignore them, these people don't have malicious intent, they just get bored. Johnson reassured.

But Jack is still immersed in their cynicism.

"Why don't I use a sword? They were right, I might only be here to fish or something. ”

"Jack, don't listen to their nonsense, everyone has something that everyone is born to do, and although those guys have swords, don't they also make a living by fishing on the island? When it comes to fighting, I know you're not going to be left behind. ”

"Johnson, this time I offered to go to sea with the captain, so I would rather be laughed at by them, everyone came from the slums, and I don't think it was so unusual to be ridiculed. ”

Johnson smiled: "Slums? hehe, you are not the only one on this boat from the slums, if you want to talk about identity, everyone is actually lowly, otherwise the elder group would not have selected people from the slums to go to sea, those guys in the rich area, who can take two fists in a real fight." ”

By this time, it was nearly evening, and the setting sun shone on the calm sea on the left side of the ship, staining the sea a blood-red color.

The crew members drank the wine brought back from Chau Island with great interest at their respective posts, as if this time they were not going to sea to explore the Old World, but to travel.

"Quick-witted Garlanders, oh, calm Garlanders, oh, salmon are jumping, sharks are eyeing them. Gentle Garland, oh, unenterprising Garland. Aha, the tuna is gone, the flying fish is gone, and today is another trip in vain. ”

On the other side of the deck, an older man was singing, the famous "Garland Fishing Song", but the lyrics had been changed.

"Old Captain!" Johnson shouted.

The singing man turned his head slowly, and the sun shone on his cheeks, which were flushed with drink, making his eyes even more foggy.

"Don't worry, there will be resources on the mainland that can allow us to survive. Stop singing, go back to the cabin, or a big wave will sweep you down later. ”

Jack and Johnson grew up together, but Johnson is naturally optimistic and strong, and Jack is a little weaker than him in terms of personality, although this time he went to sea with the team was Jack's initiative to ask.

"Young man, now is the time to enjoy, what do you stand on the bow of the boat every day, and you don't know what awaits you on land. We haven't been back for a thousand years, is it possible that you still expect that when you get off the ship, there will be a group of beautiful women waiting for you? Hahaha, like us, drink a few glasses of wine, sleep until dawn, and then come out to bask in the sun and smoke two puffs of cigarettes, this is called a comfortable life. Isn't it?" said the old crew, and staggered on the deck to a drunken dance.

"You two are really brave, don't you see that this ship is full of old fellows who are about to enter the earth? The old crew said.

Johnson felt particularly panicked, and replied: "Who said that we will die, not only will we not die, but we will also build a home on the land that belongs to us, isn't this the purpose of our going to sea? Look at you, drink too much nonsense, hurry back to your bed and go to sleep!"

Jack glanced at Johnson and asked, "Johnson, is everything he said true?"

Johnson hesitated and didn't answer, but turned around and scolded the old crew: "Old guy, you should wake up, or the sea god will drag you to the sea because of your words! Look at you, your pants are about to fall off, and you are still jumping there!"

Unwilling, Jack grabbed Johnson's shoulders with both hands and asked, "Do you know anything that didn't tell me?!Johnson, we grew up together and have no barriers with each other, can you tell me why he said that?"

"These old fellows, they've been languishing since they got on the boat!, Jack, don't believe their nonsense!" Johnson defended.

A few stars gradually lit up on the seashore, and on Chau Island, the most seen by the Garland people were the stars in the sky, and the starry sky seemed to be the same everywhere, and the few in the western sky were still the ones at the door of their own homes.

"Johnson, in the past two days, there have been water monsters in the sea from time to time, haven't you noticed it a little?" 'It's another journey in vain......,'" the old crew member said as he hummed a song.

After the "Hope" sailed to the periphery of the equator, there were often large schools of dead fish floating in the sea, and those that migrated here from the vicinity of the island of Garland Island to spawn all died in large numbers for some reason, and the sea often gushed with large sums of blood, and the air was full of foul odors.

"Haven't you ever seen a dead fish? You old man is so strange that the sudden change in weather and the abnormal temperature in the water caused these fish to die, is there anything strange about this?"

Jack suddenly remembered the legend of the Garland.

Two hundred years after the outbreak of the war, a group of unwilling Galans sailed back to the old continent of mankind, which was a feat at the time, and the people of the island came to the harbor to watch the warriors from afar and watch them go to sea.

However, the truth is not as simple as they think. Two months later, the ship returned, but the ship was originally full, and there was only one person left, and it was already crazy!

Garland's history books mention it, but Jack knows something from folklore.

The crazy crew member kept muttering, "There are monsters...... Don't go back, don't go back!"

This sentence was quite a blow to the Garland people at that time, and the Garland chief decided that no one should return to land by boat on their own again, and once discovered, they must be exiled to a desert island!

However, the matter does not end there. After the incident, word of mouth spread that the crew had written a nautical diary throughout the voyage, which recorded a number of things, including what he had seen and heard. This is also the reason why the Elders, that is, the chief, decided not to let the children and grandchildren return to the Old World. But no one knows what secrets are written in that "Garland Diary", but some people say that they saw a thing like a sheep's horn found from the ship, maybe it is a sheep's horn, but the creature "sheep" has long been extinct with the war, and people are not immune, let alone animals?

The old crew member was still arguing with Johnson: "Young man, why are you so optimistic, I am not the only one who thinks this way, you see, even now, the sea is still swelling with waves, what kind of fish do you say will make such strange waves?"

Jack stuck his head out of the railing, and sure enough, he noticed that the water was "clattering" on the waves.

Johnson leaned over to look at it, but calmly replied to the old crew, "What's so strange about that." If there were water monsters, they should have come forward a long time ago, right? This is a common occurrence when crossing the equator. Maybe it's a fish you've never seen before?"

The old crew laughed and said, "I haven't seen any fish?" You say, I've lived for so many decades, and I haven't seen any fish, and I've caught more fish than you've ever seen. Do you see the cocoons in my palms?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it in the distance: "A cocoon is 10,000 kinds of fish, and there are so many cocoons densely distributed on my hand, do you think I have never seen any fish." ”

The largest of the thousands of old ships on the island of "Hope", in order to facilitate travel, the extra cabins have been demolished and rebuilt before going to sea, but the rich living resources are stored, including fresh water and wine, so since the boat left the island, the old guys on the ship have never left the drunkenness all day long, as if they don't care about the instructions of the Garland people at all, and their daily life is to drink, drink, drink.

Jack finally couldn't help but speak: "Sir, have you forgotten the purpose of our voyage this time? Besides, we have been sailing for a month, and the land is in sight, if there really is a water monster, it should have appeared a long time ago, right? ”

"Hahaha!" the old crew laughed, and drank the wine in his glass, "If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't have come to this boat, and you have to be brave, right?" It doesn't matter if it's a water monster or a sea monster, it can't stop me from picking up my glass and ...... 'Today is another trip in vain', uh-huh......"

The old crew left the deck, went around a row of spears, and went down to the cabin.

"I guess it's going to add wine again. These guys, it's not good to be with them!" Johnson said angrily.

"Yes, I really don't understand, why there are so many people with different personalities when thousands of boats on Chau Island are tied together, and I don't know why the elders chose these old guys to get on the boat. Jack said.

Johnson leaped hard, climbed the high railing, looked at the darkening sky in the north, and said, "Yes! It would be nice if we were all as young as we are! Whatever it is, the Gallands have faced a terrible situation in recent years with no fish to catch, forcing us to go back to the Old World again in search of habitat." How to say it, anyway, this is a necessary trip, so it should be a trip, otherwise there is really no place for this power in me to exert on the ship of Zhou Island. I feel like I belong to the sea, Jack, what do you think?"

Johnson has dark skin and dark blue eyes, the color of the sea, and anyone who sees Johnson will say, "Ho! What a strong guy! This arm is thick enough to kill an adult shark." ”

Of course, the same is true of Johnson in Jack's eyes. With him, it seems that no matter how big the wind and waves, he can get through it smoothly, because Johnson always says to himself: "Don't worry, Jack, things will get better, no matter what, I am also the son of the sea, how can I re-enter the sea so easily." ”

"I also feel that you belong to the sea. I remember that you never went out fishing empty-handed, no matter what the off-season was, you would bring back dozens of catties of sea fish. ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about, I mean, you see my shape, I don't look like a fish. Johnson opened his arms: "It's a flying fish now" and bent his arms again: "It's a shark now, roar!"

Jack was amused and said, "You should be the fish." ”

"What fish?"

"Blackfish!"

"Hahaha!"

The two of them laughed on the deck, and the sea breeze was constantly blowing slightly.

amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; Two amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; gt;

It's been three days since he landed, and Jack hasn't drunk a sip of clean fresh water, and he has nothing to eat, and even the fish on the beach are harder to catch than the fish on Chau Island, and for three days, he has worked in vain. It's a hot place, so hot that it makes people panic, and the ground under their feet feels soft when you step on it now.

"Did you survive a disaster and die on this continent in the end?"

Jack felt that he could no longer walk, he was lying on a stone slab, his head was empty, the world in front of him seemed to be spinning, shaking in front of his eyes, he felt that even if his stomach was empty, he felt like he was going to vomit, nausea, dizziness. This is a sign of water scarcity.

Johnson...... Sophia ......"

Jack kept saying the two names.

Sophia is the woman he thinks about day and night, a girl from a wealthy area on the island, with long hair and a lovely face.

"You look so good when you smile, Sophia. ”

Jack was already muttering to himself.

For some reason, the thought of Sophia made Jack's body seem to be infused with infinite strength, and he braced himself up hard, crawled up, and struggled to search around.

In front of me, apart from the mountains and sand, there are only some towering trees that do not bear fruit, and there is no shadow of any animal in sight. The woods are luxuriant, but they are as quiet as the world after a rainstorm.

The Tamsui River, twenty kilometers away, was the only place where Jack could replenish water, but the scarlet-eyed, towering whale-like monster in the water made him really afraid to take half a step closer, and even the surprisingly large orangutans on the shore could easily kill themselves.

"Huh?"

Jack realized that he had touched something in the palm of his hand. Looking down, it turned out that there were still words engraved on the slate.

"Gumero script!" Jack could see the structure of the word at a glance, and although it was strange, he could still know its name.

The ancient Mero script was only used by the ancestors of mankind a thousand years ago before their demise, but I did not expect that after thousands of years, this stone tablet still retains evidence of their life.

"Land" and "Boundary Stone", with Jack's cognitive level, he can only read the meaning of these two words, after all, when he is in ancient literature class, he always sleeps heavily.

"I would have studied hard if I had known, alas, forget it, I can't understand it anyway, so what. It's important to find something to eat. ”

There are really water monsters on this continent, the old crew is right. Only then did Jack realize that many of the old crew's words had come true, including......

Jack suddenly felt a chill behind him, because he was facing the sun, and there was no shadow of the thing behind him, he was very nervous, but he had to turn back slowly.

At the moment when he turned around, Jack's eyes went dark......

He fainted.
